Background: In the past two decades, there we see a significant increase in clinical research to determine the underlying mechanisms of social anxiety disorders. This study is aimed to compare the ability of solving socio -metacognition of students with social phobia disorder symptoms and normal samples. Methods: 284 male students were selected from University of Tabriz using cluster-random sampling. All of the subjects were asked to answer demographic questions and social problem solving and metacognition and social phobia questionnaires. Of these 70 subjects were enrolled in the study. Data were analysized using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of variance. Results: Research findings showed different significance between students with symptoms of social phobia disorder and normal ones. Conclusion: Social problem solving and metacognitive beliefs are effective factors in general health. Also, it is possible to promote students’ mental health by changing metacognition beliefs which enhance maladaptive and negative thinking styles or general negative beliefs.
